Ból Chumann na hÉireann would like to express their deepest sympathy to the family of our President Liam O'Keefe, to his sons Kevin, Declan, Brendan, Colm, William & Micheal and extended family members we share in your deep loss. Liam Had the honour of winning the 1st All-Ireland Roadbowling Final, orgnised and run bt the then All-Ireland Bowlplaying Association, in Cloghroe in October 1954 defeating his good friend and neighbour Ned Barry (it took two days to play). He was voted in as Secretary of the City Region in 1986 and dedicated the next 32 years to the efficient running of the region. He was proposed and second and unopposed to be our President in 2010. Liam expressed a huge interest in the promotion of our youth over the years and could be seen at many many finals over the years, he also liked nothing more than the big Senior scores. He had the pleasure of winning the Vintage Championship in 1990 from Mick Doyle at Monkstown, and was runner up to Mick Barry in 1996 also in Monkstown where Mick got injured and Liam being the gentleman that he was gave him time to recover to finish the score six months later. Thank you Liam for all you have done for bowling in your 93 years on this earth. You were a gentleman and friend to all. Ar dheis de go raibh anam dilis.

Ból Chumann na hÉireann would like to extend its deepest sympathy to the O'Callaghan Family, on the passing of their beloved Connie. A fonder member of the Boston Bowling Region and the driving force behind the All-Irelands of 2004 & 2018. Connie liked nothing better than All-Irelands returning to Boston and he had that with his dear friends the Flemming Brothers Michael & Brendan, Adrian Lappin, Fergal Carr, Kevin O'Riordan, Brendan O'Donovan, Florrie & Sean O'Mahoney and who could forget the two Novice 1 All-Irelands that he won himself in 1999 & 2003. What a character he was and will be greatly missed from the scene. May the Angels lead you into paradise Connie. RIP.
